# Why I Started This Blog

A quick note on why I'm sharing my honest, ongoing experience with Wealthsimple instead of just a referral code.

For a while, this site was just a landing page with my referral code on it. That still works, but I wanted a place to actually write about what I'm learning as I use Wealthsimple day to day — what's changed, what surprised me, and what I wish I knew before I signed up.

## What to expect

- Honest breakdowns of new features and fee changes as they roll out
- Comparisons with other Canadian banks and brokerages, based on my own switching experience
- Practical tips for TFSAs, RRSPs, and everyday banking in Canada

I'm not a financial advisor — just someone who moved most of my banking and investing to Wealthsimple and wants to share the real experience, good and bad.

**Referral Code**: LTHNZA — [Get $25 Bonus](https://www.wealthsimple.com/invite/LTHNZA)

If you haven't made the switch yet, the card above has the same offer that got me started. I'll be posting more detailed guides here soon.
